Can anyone tell me what they think of the example of mass bending space using a ball on a rubber sheet
?
I maintain this is a poor example and is confusing as I say that the proper relationship of the ball the blanket, er rubber sheet, would be that the ball should be under the blanket
however the dimple where the ball would lay on the blanket be in place
.
Does space bend to mass or away from it
?
Having answered that do you see why the rubber sheet is not appropriate
?
Also space time does not say if gravity pushes or pulls we have only the bending of space time due to mass
... this is my plea to explain it to me please
.
